Yes, I am on medicine (prozac). I was not sexually abused or anything. The verbal abuse was horrible. I was screamed at constantly. When my mom spanked, she would hit me with a belt until I was black and blue. The bruises covered my body (from the legs on up). The name calling hurt the worst. My self-esteem was down to nothing.
Yet, I feel guilty about saying these things about my mother. Is that really abuse? How long does it take to overcome this?
I made a promise that I would never do that to my kids. I leave the discipline to my husband. He is a wonderful dad.
